so last night I was listening to a Terrence McKenna interview that had rainforest noises in the background as I drifted off to dream land with my oolong tea :] it was so relaxing he's like a human quaalude.

Quote:guruu said:I think Terrence Mckenna had some really amazing ideas. Obviously anybody of that intellectual magnitude is gonna have a few clunkers as well. Shrooms as intergalactic intelligence? Meh.

Yeah I agree. I do think his theory of mankind and how apes became smart could hold some water though. Not a bunch, but more than others. His "others" are what make me questionable towards my opinion of him.

I just came across this in one of Terrence's interviews.Podcast 033-McKenna: "In the Valley of Novelty" (Part 7)of the Psychedelic Salon15:50 minutes in

"as far as whether I'll do more with rave culture, I don't know I keep trying to back out of it. It's, it's different it's strange to go on stage in front of a screaming crowd at 2am and try to talk philosophy. and so I've given up trying to talk philosophy and instead I find myself behaving more incoherently and, uh, crazily than I do in any other fashion. and the crowd seems to love it, but the crowd is predisposed to love it. the crowd is not terribly discriminating at that point."-Terence Mckenna
